Leftovers: Hamels Called Up; Phillies Fans Prep For Disappointment

051006hamels.jpg • Lefty 22-year-old Cole Hamels is going to make his first start Friday against the Reds. They were going to take it slow with him, but after three starts in a row where he allowed one run total and struck out 36, well, it was time. Let’s hope he’s the real deal. [Phillies.com]

• New Jersey: First it’s gay unions, now it’s medical marijuana. Hmm. Be careful Jerz, people are going to start confusing you with California any day now. Wait, no they won’t. [Philly Future]

• Beer makers are focusing on making beer look more upscale and marketing to more affluent consumers. This will change the time-tested tradition of beer ads where working class men get together and, say, build a barn. Ads featuring scantily-clad women are expected to stay. [AP/Yahoo!]

• Young Philly Politics asks: Is Larry Farnese secretly a communist?!?! Erhm, wait, wrong decade. I meant to say, “Is Larry Farnese secretly not a progressive?!?!” Currently, I’m pondering a similar question: Which district do I live in? [Young Philly Politics]

    If you do a Google Search for “No more women wrestling in their underwear” you may notice that the beer companies may cut back on chics in bikinis.

    Duly noted. I’m actually kind of surprised there’s not some sort of political action group called “No More Women Wrestling In Their Underwear”

    why can’t liberals just call themselves ‘liberals’? Why’s this progressive shtick starting to take hold? Someone clue me in.
